TRIBE ALBUM NEWS
On Saturday 23rd October, John Williams and Matt Prime, the songwriter-producers of the first Tribe album left New Zealand to return to the UK.
In their final week working on the first Tribe album they worked with members of cast and continued to record additional vocals and music. In addition to the cast they worked with members of New Zealand orchestras, bands, all kinds of musicians.
Recording an album is a long process and each song evolves in its own particular way. The music that has been recorded has been fantastic and sounds great but John Williams and Matt Prime are still trying out different mixes and elements for each track.
Now the vocals have been recorded, back in the UK some additional music tracks will be recorded. Once all the components are in place, the songs are then ready to be mixed together – and when a final mix is achieved, the song is completed. Mixing is a long process – in the 1960s when the Beatles and Rolling Stones were at their peak, the music technology was for 4 or 8 track recording. Today you can have dozens and dozens of music tracks each having different vocals and instrumentation. One track on the Tribe album is called “Abe Messiah” and has over 90 separate music tracks! It takes longer to mix all these tracks and get the right balance between different instruments.
It is anticipated that the first Tribe album will be completed by the end of this year and released next year. As soon as we have details, we will advise on the main website.
In the meantime, fans in the UK will be the first to hear some of the new music for the Tribe that will appear on the first Tribe album because some versions have been completed and are used as incidental music during the second series of the Tribe. The UK is the first country in the world to be shown Series 2 of the Tribe and viewers will get sneak peaks of some of the music and songs from the first Tribe album as they are used in different scenes in the second series.
